Eternal Holy Emperor

Ye Chen waved his hand and retrieved a strand of Sword Qi, which was enveloped by Chaos Dao Fire. The Sword Qi struggled fiercely, trying to escape, but it remained trapped by the Chaos Dao Fire and couldn’t break free.

He opened the Heavenly Eye, and Chaos Ancient Energy permeated the air. Peering through the Sword Qi, he discovered it contained at least over ten types of Dao Power, including the destructive forces of destruction and death. This was why Ye Chen couldn’t withstand the blow and was severely injured by a single sword strike.

Even Chaos Dao Fire couldn’t immediately refine it.

At this moment, Ye Chen did not leave the depths of the sea but instead looked at the countless crisscrossing Heavenly Earth Spiritual Veins below. Then, with a wave of his sleeve and a single move of Sleeve Universe, he collected all these Spiritual Veins within a hundred thousand miles radius, absorbing them into his Chaos Mini Universe.

Swish, swish, swish—

With just a few simple moves, all the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Veins in this Spirit Heaven Sea Domain were completely taken by Ye Chen. This could be considered as compensation from the Jiuyan Emperor Clan for injuring him.

However, the Infinite Storms in the Spirit Heaven Sea Domain wouldn’t disappear immediately; it would take at least a decade to gradually dissipate. But from then on, there would be hardly any Spirit Veins to be mined.

If the Jiuyan Emperor Clan knew, they would probably go mad.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp—"

At this time, Little Bumpkin rushed out from within Ye Chen, stood on his shoulder, and chirped incessantly. Its crimson-gold fur reflected dazzling crimson-gold light, joyfully chirping: "Daddy, Daddy, you finally let me out!"

Little Bumpkin seemed very happy, incessantly chirping, spinning around Ye Chen’s neck continuously.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then immediately rushed up from the depths of the sea to the raging sea above.

About what happened in the depths of the sea, nothing could be heard from above the sea.

This was a Sea Domain within the Spirit Heaven Sea Domain called Jiangyan Domain, with a vastness of ten thousand miles in all directions. It was also a rich source of Spirit Veins, producing seven to eight hundred thousand catties of Spirit Stones each year, always coveted by nearby nations, often leading to fierce maritime wars.

The strongest among them were the two nations of Xi Country and Hongy Country, the two most powerful countries near this Sea Domain. To fight for the Spirit Vein resources in Jiangyan Domain, they had engaged in countless large and small wars throughout history, both suffering significant casualties.

And now, they met again and were at war.

On the turbulent sea, less than a hundred miles apart, dozens of thousand-zhang long giant warships and hundreds to thousands of smaller warships faced off, loaded full of troops, advancing against the waves.

On those fearsome thousand-zhang giant ships, each was equipped with five colossal cannons, known as the legendary Divine Power Cannons. By embedding Spirit Stones, and through a specially precise transformation magic array, the spiritual energy contained in the Spirit Stones was converted into divine power, releasing devastating divine attacks towards the opposing giant ships.

One could hear terrifying thunderous explosions resonating over the sea. Each shot of the Divine Power Cannon could raise massive waves thousands of feet high, possessing mountain-moving, ocean-filling terrors.

Under such Divine Power Cannon bombardments, a single shot could easily destroy a Demigod. A giant ship equipped with five Divine Power Cannons could grievously wound or even kill Divinity Transformation Realm super experts, being a national-level weapon.

The fearsome warships maneuvered through the tempestuous waves, and the soldiers on board were indeed extraordinary, at least possessing Acquired seventh or eighth level Inner Strength, with captains being Innate Strong People, and naturally, also including some Demigods and several Divinity Transformation Realm super experts.

As for Saints, they were Extraordinary super experts, the absolute pinnacle figures that could determine the direction of a war. Even within Xi Country and Hongy Country, they were very rare and would not appear easily.

"Order the left side twelve national-level warships to turn thirty degrees left, all Divine Power Cannons aim forward, attack!"

"Order the right side ten national-level warships, all Divine Power Cannons aim forty degrees right, attack!"

"Order the central fourteen national-level warships to target Hongy Country’s flagship, attack!"

"Order eight hundred city-level warships, all Heavenly Bombardment Cannons aim, attack!"

"Order to drop three thousand Sky Bombs into the sea as quickly as possible, detonate them in three breaths!"

...

The thirty-six national-level warships of Xi Country, the flagship, in the midst of them all, was Xi Country’s largest warship, with the command tower on this flagship.

On the uppermost command boat tower, a young man in golden battle armor, wearing a crown, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuded an extraordinary nobility.

Although young, he was very composed. Facing the battlefield, he continually issued one order after another, methodically. The adjutant on the side transmitted the orders, and all warships swiftly acted upon his commands.

The thirty-six national-level warships adjusted the positions of their Divine Power Cannons at the fastest speed, and terrifying beams instantly pierced through Changkong, striking at Hongtian Ancient Country’s giant ships.

Such powerful Divine Power Cannon bombardments, with their massive divine power releases tantamount to thousands of catties of Spirit Stones, possessed great power, enough to injure even top-tier Saints.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—

Visibly, on Hongtian Ancient Country’s side, a total of twelve giant ships were pierced, then exploded, and then were submerged by the terrifying billowing waves. The ships disintegrated, and a large number of soldiers fell into the water. Even the Innate couldn’t survive long in such a perilous environment, only Demigod Strong Ones could rise into the air, but even that was fraught with danger.
